Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on June 16, 1945)

Happy Birthday, Ivan Lins! May your day be filled with more rhythm than "Madalena" and smoother moves than the timeless groove of "Love Dance." You've given us melodies that refuse to age—much like yourself—and songs so catchy they've been recorded by everyone except maybe extraterrestrials (though we're pretty sure they're humming along too).

Your legendary partnership with Vitor Martins has gifted music lovers worldwide countless hits. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as you've brought listeners over decades of chart-topping success. Keep dancing through life, maestro; after all, nobody does a love dance quite like you!
